Judge declines ruling on mixed-gender sports issue

Article here. Excerpt:

'The increasing number of boys playing on girls' high school teams has altered the competitive balance of some sports, according to recent court filings by the Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association.

But this week, a Commonwealth Court judge declined to modify a 38-year-old injunction that barred the PIAA from engaging in gender discrimination.

Instead, Judge B. Kevin Brobson said if the PIAA wanted to ban boys from participating in girls' sports and vice versa, it should establish such a policy.

"Only then, if that policy is challenged in a court of law, may its constitutionality be evaluated," Brobson wrote.'
